Ok, I'm stumped.<br>
<br>
I have two files. They are the same size and I've mmaped them both
into xmap and ymap. I'd like to compare their contents but without
copying them into yet another chunk of memory before I do so. There
should be a way to bitblt these things.<br>
<br>
The only things I can think to do involve forcing a string copy
first.<br>
<blockquote><tt>xmap[:] == ymap[:]</tt><br>
<tt>bytearray(xmap) == bytearray(ymap)</tt><br>
<tt>xmap.read() == ymap.read()</tt><br>
</blockquote>
Can anyone think of a way to do this without first copying them to
strings?<br>
